?Tuolumne County is home to approximately 8,500 students who attend public schools. These young people have special talents, interests and needs as diverse as the county in which they live.
Tuolumne County has a Superintendent of Schools Office, which provides county-wide leadership and support, contributing to a strong instructional program from kindergarten through high school.
The county is served by twelve public school districts, including two high school districts and one unified school district, along with one community college. In addition, there are four private schools with enrollments over 50. Enrollment figures in the public schools vary from year to year in relation to current employment opportunities within the county.
The Special Education needs of Tuolumne, Amador and Calaveraas counties are currently served through the Tri-County consortium, which operates under the Calaveras County superintendent of Schools Office.
Families looking to relocate to Tuolumne County are urged to visit both elementary and high school campuses in the county and to
visit administrators and review the programs and classes each school has to offer to assist them with their relocation choices.
